In honor of USAF SSgt Timothy P. Davis, 28, who was killed on February 20, 2009 supporting operations in Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan, when his vehicle was struck by an IED. Timothy is survived by his wife Megan and one-year old son T.J.

This one is a favorite and chances are longer-term gym members have done it a couple of times, but we decided to hit it this weekend and we want some PRs! “DT” was remembered as a real tough guy. One anecdote to this fact was that he was previously awarded a purple heart for a shrapnel wound, which he never felt he deserved because he did not lose the limb.

keller

Funny…my buddy Scott who works out daily @ CF 305 will be at our box today @ 4:30. Rory for what it’s worth you are pretty far from 305 compared to others. Best to check out CF Miami Beach in terms of proximity. But yes 305 has a great setup…

Man, I really wanted to do todays WOD, but after yesterday I feel like I would drop the snatches right on my head.

I was just going to post the same thing. I woke up this morning (after nine hours of sleep) feeling like I’d been driven over by a road grader while being simultaneously pummeled with a wrecking ball.

Greg some days I can’t get around it and pop a few Advil too, but if nothing else, FYI – K Star on Ibuprofen: http://bit.ly/zlZZa1

No surprise that yesterday could be leaving you wrecked. A 20 round Cindy is 600 reps, the Filthy Fifty is 500 reps, and even a FGB score in the high 300s is a ton of work.

For those of you that made close to 800 or higher (which is very impressive BTW), or even for those that scaled to lower reps, that may have been those most volume you have ever done in a CF WOD by a wide margin.

If you are feeling pretty beat up today, either take a rest day and do some mobility work, or at least lower your intensity on today’s WOD. You’ll thank yourself for it over the next few days.

Mike is smart, listen to him. Fish oil helps too. If training has destroyed me, I listen to my body and take an active rest day.

It’s a lot easier to get injured if you’re already hurt. There is def a difference.

Tried todays Met-Con as RX’d. Set a 20 minute-cap. Couldn’t hit the snatch at 135 today. Next time.

Mike K

Didn’t you just hit a PR snatch at 135 the other day?

Standard crossfit rule – weights and movements do not get lighter or easier when you put them into a metcon

Bummer…I was going to do Diane at 445# this weekend…

Jamie F.

I can rep out 95 and 115, figured what the hell, let’s try it.

Sara

It might just be me, but 135 sounds like a lot more than 95 and 115. Just thinking out loud…..

Jamie F.

It’s roughly 42% more than 95 LBS and 17% more than 115 LBS.

Sara

Can you make a pie chart?

CAIN

hahahahaahaha

Jamie F.

I don’t think a pie chart would really apply here, think of concentric circles in different colors!

If you are asking in general though, the answer is yes. Do you need a specific pie chart made?

Jim S

A: 215 230 250 265 250
B: 1000m run, 100 pushups, 10x75lb snatch 18:28
After Chelsea, the pushups and snatches took FORever today. Beginning feel some semblance of form come together on the snatch though. Glad to have a rest day coming tomorrow.

Deads:

225, 225, 235, 255, 275. Time to move up in weight, all the reps felt easy. I guess this crossfit stuff works

Wod: it was either 12:03 or 12:44 with 95#

Zoe

A. 143, 153, 173, then ran out of time.
B. 16:34 w/ 53#

Sam Gaberal

5/3/1 press 95%

5 at 135
3 at 150
6 at 167 almost 7
165 use to be my 1 rep max.

5 by 10 rows with 2 pood.

Steve Slo

A) 225, 275, 295, 295, 275

B) 18:33, 95#
…so much heavier than I was expecting. It would probably be more accurate to classify what I did as a power snatch, followed by a squat.

These were a rough two days. I’m hoping I have enough gas to put up a respectable DT time tomorrow.
